The Great Gun Control Debate- 2.0

[Lumber]

What are “reasonable grounds”?

CFO:
"I see you have a PAL. I'm going to come in and inspect your compliance to the laws."

"We saw your post on army.ca, and have reasonable grounds to believe you may be conceiling a prohibited weapon."

"We saw your post on army.ca, and have reasonable grounds to believe you may be conceiling a prohibited weapon."

Is this a threat ?

I am a little sensitive, I will walk that back.

"We saw your post on army.ca, and have reasonable grounds to believe you may be conceiling a prohibited weapon."

Most likely "We saw your posts on CGN and believe you are concealing a prohibited firearm." They will troll there first.

I find that site very difficult to peruse. I like its EE and some of the stuff in the MILSURP sections, but as much as I can empathize with the situation it can get very vile and combative.

Yeesh. I'm on your side on this bud. Thank you for walking it back.

After the number of semiautomatics we bought and sold to each other? I should hope so


I can't see the government going after gun owners for non compliance until it's an election year. Then watch out.

If it is outside of the EE, milsurps section, antiques, or gunsmithing, I basically ignore it’s existence.

As much as some might think I take extreme stance (mine is more focused on who has access as opposed to what is accessed), many on there would consider me a ‘commie libtard’ or other such titles.

Oh I see what you did there you sly dog you.

What are the chances the Federales hire a bunch of retired cops and give them the authority to door knock?

Why hire retired cops when you can hire cops to do it as a paid duty? That way police departments aren't enforcing it, just their officers doing side gigs -like paid security at a concert.

We really only differ in that I think some "what's" are worthy of tracking more closely so that more scrutiny can be applied to the "who's" efficiently

 

[suffolkowner]

With the amount of police departments rejecting involvement and the provinces its amounting to a discrediting of the federal position

Yes if they actually do this, the vote pinata becomes sterile and unproductive.

If a specific police service stands against the scheme, will they allow public resources (i.e. vehicles, equipment and facilities) to support it?

Secondly, many of the police unions are also standing against the scheme and a lot have sections of their collective agreements that govern paid-duty tasks such as this. If this comes to pass, I expect the unions would get more involved.

CGN is an absolute cesspit of conspiracy thinking, and wackjob views of pretty much everything.

I poked into the OIC ban sub-forum, and regret wasting my time there.

There are users there convinced the government is sending in plants to ask questions about the buy-back, to encourage others to participate. Ignoring the reality that it's likely just people not terminally online who found the forum in a Google search, and have genuine questions.

If you ever want arguments in support of banning all firearms ownership in Canada, just spend a day on CGN...

Undercover RCMP officers worked inside community and activist organizations for months before the G20 summit, gathering intelligence on plans and individuals.

At the Montebello SPP Summit undercover police acted as protesters and intermingled with them.

Gathering Int, sure. I'm guessing they did it with far more sophistication than the random guy popping in and asking what everybody is doing with their prohibs, seeing the vitriol sent their way, then peacing out.

Chances are, if the RCMP or others are on CGN, they are the under the radar guys who go-along-to-get-along and see what people are saying.

I used to be a lot more active there, but I've stepped back in recent years, mostly perusing the news and images sections.

I swear, it seems every thread about Ukraine brings the tankies out of the woodwork.

If I was the RCMP and the LPC and I hated gun owning Canadians, I would put like minded officers in there.

I suspect they would be more like me. Have an account, don't say much and just observe.

There are two threads I like Milsurp Pic of the day and From the mind of bubba.

I do tend to get sucked into Enfield and Martini discussions. But those are more people like myself who are wood and iron purists. Almost no politics.
